The time is at hand when the
Baptist ministers of this city should

gospel ministry. We (Baptist)
have more incompetent preachers
filing our pulpits than any other
denomination of this city. The
reason why is this: Whenever a
council is called to examine a
candidate for ordination there is
always sem one i'll the council who
wishes to make a display of bis
oratory, and in order to do this,
such q person Or persons will re-
su' cltatt dead, previously passed,

defects in that motion for which he

studied three months and who
dOsn't read the 35th verse of the
11th chapter of John correctly (for
the sound of L in the last word is

sent fourth to lead people. l
